Quezon City, Philippines

MALALIM na ang gabi ngunit nakatingala pa rin si Samantha Villafuerte sa langit habang pinagmamasdan ang liwanag ng buwan at bituin. Kasabay nito ang malalim niyang buntong-hininga. Malayo ang kanyang tingin at tila may iniisip ito.

"Bakit gano'n, parang may kulang. I dreamed this life since I was young and I worked so hard to get what I have right now pero bakit hindi ako masaya?" malungkot na tanong niya sa sarili.
Tatlongpu't limang minuto na ang nakalipas 'di pa rin pumasok sa loob ng kwarto si Sam at nasa balcony pa ito. Habang nakatitig pa ito sa langit may biglang kumatok sa pintuan. Kaagad niya naman itong binuksan.

"Ma'am, everything is set na po for tomorrow." anang Personal Assistant sabay ibinigay ang papel with her sched.
"Thank you." sagot nito sa kanya.

Kinabukasan.

After she took a shower, she immediately dressed up and put light makeups on her face. She is very beautiful. Her beauty attracts men. Hindi maipagkakaila na maraming lalaki ang magkakagusto sa kanya. Everything about her face, her body and her life is undeniably perfect.

"Where's the driver? It's already 9:30. The photoshoot will start at exactly 10:00 am. I don't want to be late!." galit na sabi niya bago tumayo.
The P.A. automatically call the driver bago pa tuluyang siya ang mapagalitan.
"Where have you been? You know, I have a lot of work and I don't want to be late. Mas nauna pa ako sayo!." bulyaw nito sa driver.

"I'm sorry po ma'am. Inasikaso ko lang po saglit ang anak kong may sakit. Hindi na po mauulit." paghingi niya ng tawad sa malumanay na pagsasalita.

"Sorry po ulit, ma'am." he added.
"You should!. Kapag nangyari pa ito ulit. Swear, I'll fire you." ani Sam sa driver.

Nakarating sila sa studio before 10:00 am. Kanina na pala naghihintay ang make-up artist and so with the staff. Excited sila na makatrabaho ang isang napakasikat at napakagandang modelo sa Pilipinas.

"Where's she? Is she coming?" the camera man asked who happens to be the owner of the studio.
"Malamang she's on her way na. Let's just wait her." videographer said.
"Here she is!" masayang wika nila.
Agad-agad namang naghanda ang lahat. They turned on the lights and immediately set the camera.
"Am I late already? I'm sorry if I keep y'all waiting." she said decently.
"No, it's okay. Infact, it's 9:50 am now since you arrived. You're not late. " the owner replied.
"We're glad because you gave us your time despite of your hectic schedule." and he added.
Samantha just nodded and say "So, let's start?"

While she's on the center and fixin' her hair, a man suddenly came. Pinagmamasdan siya. He keeps staring at Samantha's face. He likes Samantha the way how she pose and project herself infront of the camera.
"Sh*t! She's so beautiful in person. She's so perfect. Her eyes, her nose, her lips, her entire face and down to her body. Aghh...she's just so perfect. Ang sarap niyang tignan at titigan. I wonder if she's good also in bed haha." he said while staring at Samantha's body. Pinagpapantasyahan niya ito sa kanyang isipan.

"Perfect Sam..that pose, that pose...smile...Wow, that's good. Perfect shot!" pagpupuri ng camera man sa kanya.
Masayang-masaya ito sa naging resulta ng photoshoot. Samantha did so good. It went so well and smooth.

"Okay, everyone. let's take a break. 30 minutes break." he announced.

Kaagad naman pumunta si Samantha sa kanyang private room together with her assistant to retouch her make up and at the same time maintains her glowing skin. Ngunit bago pa ito makarating, hinarangan agad sila ng isang lalaki. Iyon ay ang lalaking kanina pa nakatitig sa kanya while she's on the set.

"Hi, Ms. Villafuerte. Samantha right?" pagbati nito sabay kindat sa kanya.
"Who are you? Do I know you either?" tinaasan ng kilay at pagtataray nito sa lalaki.
"My name is Daxx Buenaventura who owns a company here in Quezon City and its name is Buenaventura's Company." mayabang na pagpapakilala agad nito sa kanya. Kaya napadaan siya sa Rise&Shine Studio dahil may kukunin siyang brochure for his younger brother na isang model din ng men's underwear sa Rise&Shine. Nagkataon na he saw Samantha, one of the most famous and gorgeous faces model in the Philippines at hindi siya makapaniwala na kaharap na niya ito.
"Oh...I see. Now, pwedi bang padaanin mo na kami 'cause you're just wasting my precious time." poker face niyang sabi.
"Can I have your digit Ms. Villafuerte?" he asked. Kinagat niya ang kanyang labi at kinindatan ito.
"No! I don't like you. I'm not interested with you. I don't care who you are. You're not even my type. So please, can we just go at umalis ka sa dinadaanan ko. Pervert!" sagot nito sa lalaki. Bago pa makadaan, tinaasan muna siya ng kilay nito at pagkatapos ay agad tinungo nila ang room 01.
"You will be mine not now but soon." Daxx said with a meaningful smile on his face. Hindi na ito narinig ni Sam dahil umalis na sila.

Maagang natapos ang photoshoot kaya napagpasyahan ni Sam na umuwi at magpahinga. Malaki ang pasasalamat ng Rise&Shine Studio dahil pinaunlakan niya ang imbitasyon. Such an honor for them to work with one of the most beautiful faces in the Philippines.

Kita ang pagod sa mukha at katawan niya at naalala pa niya yung lalaki kanina na mas lalong nagpagalit sa kanya. He ruined Sam's good mood kaya galit ito ngayon.
